The first taste of The Heavy Eyes‘ third album came earlier this summer when the track “Somniloquy” was included as part of the Kozmik Artifactz sampler, Home of the Good Sounds Vol. 2 (streamed here). Based out of Memphis, Tennessee, the trio will issue He Dreams of Lions on Nov. 13 via the aforementioned German imprint, and to complement the album artwork and details, they’ve unveiled the title-track, which to the surprise of just about nobody, rocks.

These guys have been a pretty well kept secret to this point in their career. Should be interesting to see how the album does upon its release and how much they’re able to get out and support it. Could a European tour be in the works?

PR wire info on the record follows, with the stream of “He Dreams of Lions” at the bottom:

THE HEAVY EYES announce release of new album He Dreams Of Lions | Stream and share new track ’Somniloquy’

He Dreams Of Lions will be released via Kozmik Artifactz on 13th November 2015

Kozmik Artifactz – Europe’s leading purveyor of heavy psych, blues and stoner rock – is pleased to announce the release of He Dreams Of Lions, the brand new album from heavy psych rockers The Heavy Eyes.

Following on from their 2011 self-titled debut, and 2012’s successful Maera album, the Memphis trio return to the fold this November with their most accomplished record to date. Over eleven tracks, amidst the unbridled rawness of ‘Saint’, the sheer weight of ‘Z-Bo’ and R’n’B shake appeal of ‘Smoke Signal, hypnotic hard rock riffs are delivered thick and fast through distorted fuzz boxes, gnarled bass lines and levee breaking drum beats. This is an album that draws heavily from the heaviest (Led Zeppelin, Humble Pie, Mountain) and in doing so turns out new ideas with a punishing authenticity and honesty in line with their Memphis blues heritage.

This is The Heavy Eyes, one of rock and roll’s best and brightest, and He Dreams Of Lions will be released via Kozmik Artifactz on 13th November 2015.
